(Narrator): A war of Gods upon the Earth
Giants March on in their mirth
The Elders taught the boy his way
and now the evil he shall slay
The Boy: I will believe in me, and all that I see
and I will be the hero
Sword with blood it will shine, its what is divine and I will live forevermore
Thru the snow and bloody ice
Tyrants corruption will pay the price
With sword in hand and sunlit steel
The sign of Odin will make it real
One eyed God his powers in me
To set them all free
I hear the ravens calling
Through forests of old
My story unfolds and I will take my vengeance
The Elders: You are the one of prophecy
Its time for your Odyssey
There is something more than you can understand
Thats within your steel bearing hand

I like this one as much as I like the first one, and I like Utopia quite a bit! Quality proggish Trad, great singing, not wanky, and even some Tolkien. Great! Tim McLelland

The artwork and title might mislead you to thinking this is a goofy album. Don't be fooled. It is some seriously beautiful art-rock progressive metal. On the current scene, I think of bands like IQ and Porcupine Tree, and like those bands, HoC draws in classic 70s prog influences in a completely modern and non-retro way. MindOverFour

Hades have raised and now we have Apokalyps, a mix of chaotic scenarios but not less heavier, thrashy and powerful, a perfect cocktail for the end of days.
Luckily there will be another day to play this album MediZen
The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 25, 2023

I just discovered this band. All aspects are exceptional: vocals, instruments, composition. If I had to say what it sounds like, I would say a more metal Kansas, with Queen like guitar parts, and Blind Guardian-like sense of orchestration and story telling. The connection to 70s prog (in a lot of aspects) makes this such an enjoyable journey. MindOverFour
